WTF?

"Thinking of art making as a romantic analysis, I look at ornaments, material culture and lighting to question normative social values. Painting is at the centre of my practice and functions as a material index for my research. My work responds to past and present artefacts and develops mysterious fabulations.

I set up anachronisms across the history of art and design through a process of remaking details. I observe how patterns in culture correspond to patterns of behaviour and try to break these patterns.

My work captures objects in moments of decadence, depicting the gestures of falling down and rising again. Images of divas, dandies and balconies are entangled between layers of abstraction. I question codes of behaviour and lifestyles within society - looking at the things that surround us, what endures, what divides and what shines through the gaps." - Tommy Camerno
